Yes, correct, there’s a feature for that. Unfortunately one of the audio channels from the camera footage on the motorcycle is never good enough for this feature to work for me.

I make motorcycle travel videos for YouTube, and the bulk of where my time goes in the preparation of a timeline: chronologically cutting the highlights, synchronising dual camera footage. If Claude + Davinci Resolve will enable me to cut this time slightly, even if it's 10%, it's a welcome change. Ever since I made the jump from Premiere Pro, I've been positively surprised with how good Resolve is. Excited to try this out!

It seems almost as if the car manufacturers don’t have guardrails in place to check for the implications of any software design change. I agree with you here… It’s frustrating.

> That said, I'm not sure about the novelty thing. I'd rate the greatest long term project in my life as being staying fit, athletic, and healthy as I near 50, in spite of some horrible injuries and setbacks, and remaining thus far in a reasonably happy marriage. In both of those pursuits, novelty is almost the anthesis to success.

You're right that long-term goals such as these don't thrive on novelty at all. I suppose they fall in a different category, more of a commitment than a one-off project to be procrastinated about.

For me personally, I have similar goals, and I'm not struggling with procrastinating my fitness-related tasks at all. It's an interesting insight, now that I think about it. Would that be because I have a long-term goal in mind? Because I know it's important to my health?

I suppose Figma is a good tool for that as well! Glad to hear a positive response to the interaction!

I see why this response came to be, but I just wanted to briefly annotate that this was not my intended point at all.

I'm not obsessed with being productive at all, it's just something that has been on my mind - and I'm interested in the psychology of it. Many of my days are filled with non-productive activities which I thoroughly enjoy. I just don't write about it on my profession-related blog. So I guess it's all about the context.

Glad you liked the graphs. They're my favourite part.

I looked into The Now Habit, and added it to my reading list. Great addition, thanks! Trying to rephrase 'I have to' to 'I choose to' is already something I try, but in the end, this only lands when you've genuinely internalised it - if you don't truly believe you're choosing it, it doesn't really work (at least for me). As you say, it's a delusion.

Essentially it's affect labelling in disguise, as mentioned in the article.

You're right, in my initial draft, I also took a side-step into figuring out the obligation aspect, but this ended up scattering the article too much. It's definitely a related part of it, the same tasks I love will become a chore as soon as I am obligated to do them. I love how you phrased it in your comment, transforming its emotional signature - very well put. That's what it is!

It’s meant to be a fun reference to Figma, since it’s my design portfolio. I gather you’re not a fan. Noted!

Yeah, sorry about that. Not really made for many visitors at the same time. I’ll add a limit. (update: removed the cursor interaction from blog posts)
